Henderson paid little attention to the reported conspiracy to keep the Labor party assuming the govern- ment following its sensational gains in the parliamentary elections. "Labor cannot be deprived of its constitutional rights and privileges as the second largest political party," Henderson said. "A Labor government will be a real, live, honest government. "Instead of taking the country to the dogs, as our enemies predict, that is the very fate from which Labor will save the nation."

It is almost certain that "Red" Ryan, who escaped from the Ports- mouth penitentiary"on the morning of September 10th, will appear at the sitting of the spring assizes which opens at the court house on February 5th to answer to charges in connection with his getaway. On Monday morning, word was received that Chief Justice Meredith would preside at the sitting of the court. It is understood that Ryan will be called upon to answer to five or six charges. He will likely be charged with escaping from the prison; be- ing at large when ence; setting fire to the stable =m the prison, and assaulting Chief Keeper Matt Walsh. There is also a likelihood that he wil be charge¢ with stealing the Chevrolet automo- bile in which he made his escape. ~ It will be remembered that when Edward McMullen, of London, Oat., was to be tried for the part he play- ed in the sensational it suggested that he char with setting fire to the he stated that it was tho deed, and this placed against Mc Ryan, in his letter to Walsh stated that he was sorry he struck him but he was forced circumstances to co m EMD he he close confinement at tiary and it is likely f kept there for some | under sent-| ani jail yesterday, was stripped to the ankles and given another outfit, lat- er being placed In a separate cell, away from other prisoners, under armed guard.
